On the agenda

As the city filed it

Pre-2008 diesel engines were manufactured before the adoption of modern pollution control standards. They emit disproportionately high levels of pollutants that are harmful to human health, including toxic contaminants and particulate matter, as well as high levels of climate pollution. The City still owns and operates more than 150 vehicles and equipment that contain pre-2008 diesel engines.
